Jason Brandt Hit Quotations

I thought Brian threw very well. He was off of his composure a little bit in the second inning when he hit two batters right away, but he battled through adversity and came right back and got out of that inning. He threw the ball well. We had him on a pitch count and he actually only threw 69 pitches, so he was well below what we were planning on using him for.

Out of those hits, I think every ball was hit hard. Even the outs that we made, those balls were hit hard. We came out focused ready to play.

When you give up 14 runs, that's very disappointing. We had five or six errors, a couple hit batters and plays we didn't make.

Offensively we played well. We had a lot of guys make good hits. The wind had a little factor, but those balls were hit hard.

That might be the key defense play of the game, because if that ball drops with first and second, the next kid got a hit and that would have loaded the bases with nobody out. That's a big clutch play for Nate and fortunately for us he made the play.
